By Jared Worth Belt drives fail for a short list of reasons, and tension sits near the top of that list. Correct tension occupies a narrow band. Too little, and the teeth ratchet across...
As technology advances, so do the capabilities of industries such as manufacturing and engineering. 3D printing is a popular talking point, and for good reason. It allows more complex designs to become a reality,...
Green hydrogen represents a clean energy source with the potential to play a significant role in reducing global carbon emissions. As sustainability becomes an increasingly important priority, the need to move manufacturing and engineering...
Author Eddy Eacueo The FDA-compliant iglide® A350 material is being phased out due to legislation going into effect January 2nd, 2028. In this video, iglide Product Manager Hope Mammone goes over how this will impact customers currently using A350...
By Jared Worth Injection molding is a manufacturing process that has been around for more than 150 years. Today, it is more popular than ever thanks to continuous innovation and material improvements. This blog will explain what injection...
Author: Administrator Additive manufacturing and new types of production Most development departments, production lines and workshops can no longer be imagined without additive manufacturing. While in the beginning the technology was mainly used for prototypes and view models,...
By Admin Picture this: You need a metallic component, so you quickly import the software model and the component comes out of the 3D printer in no time. There are no chips and practically no waste. You think to yourself, does...
When I started working for igus® decades—that’s right, decades—ago, I was completely unaware of how wide the range of products and machinery that use bearings was, and how important these seemingly insignificant parts are. Over the years, I...
By Christine Barreto (Edited by Shizu Yamaguchi) Modern 3D printing workflows are no longer limited to simply slicing and printing parts—they now incorporate advanced simulation and material optimization. By integrating predictive tools directly into...
By Lars Butenschon (Edited by Shizu Yamaguchi) Corrosion protection for shafts and bearing bolts is critically important, especially in applications where the bearing point cannot be lubricated (for example in machines in the construction...
